Floor-Handbrake Adjustment?

Well i know normally when you have the handbreak in the centre it can be adjusted at the base of where the handle is to reduce the distance the lever travels till its at full lock. The issue i have is when i push the floor-hand brake on my auto to a normal sort of level if youre on an incline it doesnt do much, so its relying on the park gear to stop it rolling away. If however i push it overly firm and its virtually inline with the foot rest at this point then it is enough to stop it rolling. So i was wondering if anyone knows where the adjustment is located so that it doesnt need to be pressed in as far to engage fully? If anyone has seen a DIY on how to get to the adjustment point then a link would be much appreciated.

There is a DIY for this on www.g35driver.com, it is for a manual but it's virtually the same for the autos. Just that the adjuster that is normally beside the 'hand' brake is under the dash beside the 'foot' brake for autos. I did mine, took no time at all and now it works much better.

easily found the adjustment bolt at the top of the pedal... a couple turns and it was tight enough. I didnt bother doing the adjustment from behind the rear wheel as i got enough out of the one near the pedal. Was even easier than a normal hand break cause i didnt have to even remove any interior panels, was seriousley a 2min job... and that includes getting the tools out.

You can also actually adjust the park brakes shoes.. You may or may not know that v35 run a park brake setup where it has like drum brake setup which is in the inside o the rear rotors.. If u take your back wheels off u will see on the around the center of your rear rotor that there is a rubber grommets or plug.. Remove it then turn the rotor with park brake off.. Whilst turning get a torch and peep theru that hole u will see a sprocket looking mechanism.. Turning it will tighten or loosen your park brakes.. From memory it's located towards top of the rotor.. General rule is to tighten it to point where it locks up ad u can't turn the rotor and back off about 3 turns..

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
